At a glance
One of four lounges in Terminal 1, and the best-rated of them. A large lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 300, mixes proper cocktails, and has four shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 5 AM – 10 PM daily. It opened in 2012. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Centurion Lounge. Entry conditions and availability apply.
